Budzik, Jay; Hammond, Kristian – Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, 1999
Introduces Information Management Assistants (IMAs). Presents work on an architecture for this class of system, and progress in implementing Watson, a prototype of such a system. Watson observes users in word processing and Web browsing applications and uses a simple model of the user's tasks, knowledge of term importance, and an understanding of…
